meta-analyses and systematic reviews
| J Crohns Colitis |
A systematic review on long-term efficacy outcome measures in Crohn's disease patients. In none of the published clinical trials in CD sustained remission on al treatment targets was reported. Cross-sectional outcomes on predetermined moments were widely applied, leading to lack of information regarding sustained corticosteroid free remission for this relapsing-remitting chronic disease. |

Liver transplantation with donation after medical assistance in dying: case series and systematic review of the literature. Utilization of donation after circulatory death allografts procured after MAiD appears to be promising. Mechanisms associated with potential impact in postoperative outcomes include relatively lower warm ischemic time relative to donation after circulatory death Maastricht III graft recipients. |
| Pancreatology |
Surveillance after resection of non-invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN). A systematic review. There is a lack of level 1 data addressing the issue of surveillance of patients following partial pancreatectomy for non-invasive IPMN. The definition of remnant pancreatic lesion in this setting is largely heterogeneous across al studies evaluated. Herein we propose an inclusive definition of remnant pancreatic lesions to guide future prospective efforts for reporting the natural history and long-term outcomes of these patients. |

Critical Data at the Crossroads: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Faces Growing Challenges. CASP specifically calls for a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine study on NHANES to articulate an actionable framework for NHANES going forward. With a well-informed and integrated set of goals and recommendations that could be provided by such a study, a secure future for NHANES is more readily achievable. |
Effectiveness of Lactation Cookies on Human Milk Production Rates: A Randomized Controlled Trial. AND RELEVANCE This study found no evidence for an effect of consuming LC on HMPR, PIM, or breastfeeding self-efficacy in exclusively breastfeeding parents with overall adequate perceived milk supply. Recommendations to consume LC for increasing objective or subjective milk supply may deliver false hope and unnecessary financial costs at a vulnerable time. |
Effects of dietary fat type and emulsification on carotenoid absorption: a randomized crossover trial. The type and emulsification of dietary fat are both essential to the carotenoid absorption. Findings from this study may provide scientific support for designing excipient emulsions as potential dietary strategies to optimize the absorption of fat-soluble compounds. Clinical trial registry The present trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04323826), link |
Increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the fields of nutrition and obesity: A roadmap to equity in academia. Recommendations from the breakout sessions to improve DEI across the academe focused on six themes: (1) recruitment, (2) retention, (3) advancement, (4) intersectionality of multiple challenges (e. g., being Black and a woman), (5) funding agencies, and (6) implementation of strategies to address problems related to DEI. |
The Effect of Curcumin Supplementation on Weight Loss and Anthropometric Indices: An Umbrella Review and Updated Meta-analyses of Randomized Controlled Trials. Curcumin supplementation significantly reduces anthropometric indices and bioavailability-enhanced formulas are preferred. Augmenting curcumin supplement with lifestyle modification should be an option for weight reduction. |
| Inflamm Bowel Dis |
Differential Brain Structural and Functional Patterns in Crohn's Disease Patients are Associated with Different Disease Stages. The present findings represent a further step towards understanding brain morphological and functional changes in the active vs remission stages of CD patients. |
Hospitalization Rates for Inflammatory Bowel Disease Are Decreasing Over Time: A Population-based Cohort Study. Hospitalization rates are decreasing for all-cause, IBD-related, and non-IBD-related hospitalizations. Over the past 20 years, the care of IBD has transitioned from hospital-based care to ambulatory-centric IBD management. |
Residence in Peripheral Regions and Low Socioeconomic Status Are Associated With Worse Outcomes of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: A Nationwide Study From the epi-IIRN. We found that lower SES and peripheral residence were associated with deleterious outcomes in IBD. This should be considered by policymakers and should encourage strategies for improving outcomes in populations at risk. |
| J Crohns Colitis |
Accuracy of Transperineal Ultrasonography for Assessing Rectal Lesions in Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis: A Prospective Study. TPUS may evaluate rectal activity of UC with accuracy comparable to endoscopy. If accurate ultrasonic screening for the total colon can be performed by TPUS and TAUS, repeated evaluation of short-term treatment response may be possible. |
Exosomal miR-103a-3p from Crohn's creeping fat-derived ASCs contributes to intestinal fibrosis by targeting TGFBR3 and activating fibroblasts. Our findings showed that exosomal miR-103a-3p from CF-ASCs promotes intestinal fibrosis by activating fibroblasts via TGFBR3 targeting, suggesting that CF-ASCs are potential therapeutic targets for intestinal fibrosis in CD. |

Acute pancreatitis induces a transient hypercoagulable state in murine models. Murine acute pancreatitis results in a transient hypercoagulable state that can be assessed by TEG. Correlative evidence for hypercoagulability was also demonstrated in human pancreatitis. Further study to correlate coagulation measures to incidence of VTE in AP is warranted. |
